Trying a Vibe-Coded Operating System
If you were to read the README of the Vib-OS project on GitHub, you’d see it advertised as a Unix-like OS that was written from scratch, runs on ARM64 and x86_64, and comes with a full GUI, networking and even full Doom game support. Unfortunately, what you are seeing there isn’t the beginnings of a new promising OS that might go toe to toe with the likes of Linux or Haiku, but rather a vibe-coded confabulation. Trying to actually use the OS as [tirimid] recently did sends you down a vibe-coded rabbit hole of broken code, more bugs than you can shake a bug zapper at, and most of the promised features being completely absent.
[tirimid] is one of those people who have a bit of a problem, in that they like to try out new OSes, just to see what they’re like. The fun starts with simply making the thing run at all in any virtual machine environment, as apparently the author uses MacOS and there it probably ‘runs fine’.
After this the graphical desktop does in fact load, some applications also open, but it’s not possible to create new folders in the ‘file explorer’, the function keys simply switch between wallpapers, there’s no networking or Doom support despite the promises made, there’s no Python or Nano support at all, and so on.
Clearly it’s still got the hallmarks of a functioning OS, and it’s sort of nice that you don’t need to know what you’re doing to create a sort-of-OS, but it will not appease those who feel that vibe-coding is killing Open Source software.

Embossing Precision Ball Joints for a Micromanipulator
[Diffraction Limited] has been working on a largely 3D-printed micropositioner for some time now, and previously reached a resolution of about 50 nanometers. There was still room for improvement, though, and his latest iteration improves the linkage arms by embossing tiny ball joints into them.
The micro-manipulator, which we’ve covered before, uses three sets of parallel rod linkages to move a platform. Each end of each rod rotates on a ball joint. In the previous iteration, the parallel rods were made out of hollow brass tubing with internal chamfers on the ends. The small area of contact between the ball and socket created unnecessary friction, and being hollow made the rods less stiff. [Diffraction Limited] wanted to create spherical ball joints, which could retain more lubricant and distribute force more evenly.
The first step was to cut six lengths of solid two-millimeter brass rod and sand them to equal lengths, then chamfer them with a 3D-printed jig and a utility knife blade. Next, they made two centering sleeves to hold small ball bearings at the ends of the rod being worked on, while an anti-buckling sleeve surrounded the rest of the rod. The whole assembly went between the jaws of a pair of digital calipers, which were zeroed. When one of the jaws was tapped with a hammer, the ball bearings pressed into the ends of the brass rod, creating divots. Since the calipers measured the amount of indentation created, they was able to emboss all six rods equally. The mechanism is designed not to transfer force into the calipers, but he still recommends using a dedicated pair.
In testing, the new ball joints had about a tenth the friction of the old joints. They also switched out the original 3D-printed ball mount for one made out of a circuit board, which was more rigid and precisely manufactured. In the final part of the video, he created an admittedly unnecessary, but useful and fun machine to automatically emboss ball joints with a linear rail, stepper motor, and position sensor.
On such a small scale, a physical ball joint is clearly simpler, but on larger scales it’s also possible to make flexures that mimic a ball joint’s behavior.

Vape-powered Car Isn’t Just Blowing Smoke
Disposable vapes aren’t quite the problem/resource stream they once were, with many jurisdictions moving to ban the absurdly wasteful little devices, but there are still a lot of slightly-smelly lithium batteries in the wild. You might be forgiven for thinking that most of them seem to be in [Chris Doel]’s UK workshop, given that he’s now cruising around what has to be the world’s only vape-powered car.
Technically, anyway; some motorheads might object to calling donor vehicle [Chris] starts with a car, but the venerable G-Wiz has four wheels, four seats, lights and a windscreen, so what more do you want? Horsepower in excess of 17 ponies (12.6 kW)? Top speeds in excess of 50 Mph (80 km/h)? Something other than the dead weight of 20-year-old lead-acid batteries? Well, [Chris] at least fixes that last part.
The conversion is amazingly simple: he just straps his 500 disposable vape battery pack into the back seat– the same one that was powering his shop–into the GWiz, and it’s off to the races. Not quickly, mind you, but with 500 lightly-used lithium cells in the back seat, how fast would you want to go? Hopefully the power bank goes back on the wall after the test drive, or he finds a better mounting solution. To [Chris]’s credit, he did renovate his pack with extra support and insulation, and put all the cells in an insulated aluminum box. Still, the low speed has to count as a safety feature at this point.
Charging isn’t fast either, as [Chris] has made the probably-controversial decision to use USB-C. We usually approve of USB-Cing all the things, but a car might be taking things too far, even one with such a comparatively tiny battery. Perhaps his earlier (equally nicotine-soaked) e-bike project would have been a better fit for USB charging.
Thanks to [Vaughna] for the tip!

The public deserves to know when Iran war reporting is stifled
Journalists covering the U.S. and Israel’s war on Iran should be telling their audiences not only what they know but what they were prevented from finding out, and by whom. That doesn’t just mean an occasional editorial bemoaning threats to press freedom. Those are valuable, but on their own, they turn speech suppression into a side issue. The reporting itself should include acknowledgment and explanation of how censorship impacts what the public sees and reads.
The censorship infrastructure surrounding this war is extraordinary. On the American side, self-proclaimed Secretary of War Pete Hegseth has virtually eliminated press access to the military and limited press credentialing to journalists who pledge to remain official stenographers. As a result of his policy, the press corps covering the Pentagon is composed of Trump-aligned outlets like One America News, Turning Point USA’s Frontlines, and MyPillow CEO Mike Lindell’s LindellTV streaming service.
It’s arguably not the worst outcome for serious reporters to get their time back so they can dig through public records instead of listening to Hegseth’s lies and weird pep talks. But if they try, they’re sure to run into problems caused by the Trump administration’s widespread gutting of public records and transparency mechanisms, elimination of government websites, and blatant noncompliance with the Freedom of Information Act.
Some of the same outlets excluded from the Pentagon are likely to face harassment from Brendan Carr’s Federal Communications Commission and others within the administration eager to use their leverage over corporate transactions to deter criticism.
Trump has claimed that kitchen cabinets threaten national security during peacetime — imagine what he’ll say about investigative journalism while at war.
The administration’s war on leaks is sure to accelerate as whistleblowers seek to expose the embarrassing mistakes and awful human rights abuses that the war is almost certain to bring. After the raid of Washington Post reporter Hannah Natanson’s home over her source’s alleged Espionage Act violations, further intrusions on newsgathering seem inevitable. Trump has reportedly been looking for an opportunity to take it one step further and prosecute a journalist under the same archaic law.
The congressional subpoena of journalist Seth Harp, for identifying a military official leading Trump’s attack on Venezuela, likely foreshadows what’s to come for journalists who publish news the administration seeks to conceal about the war.
The administration’s efforts to distort the concept of “doxxing” to criminalize reporting on Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s abduction spree may prove to have been a practice run for tactics to silence war correspondents. President Donald Trump has claimed that kitchen cabinets threaten national security during peacetime — imagine what he’ll say about investigative journalism while at war.
Attacks that don’t silence critics directly are apt to lead to self-censorship. Sources won’t come forward at risk of federal investigation. Corporate news moguls will tone down their coverage to avoid government threats to their more lucrative holdings. Smaller outlets and independent journalists will hesitate to risk incurring life-altering legal fees.
Sure, some journalists and whistleblowers are courageous enough to risk everything to tell the truth, but we shouldn’t be dependent on heroism for uncensored reporting.
On the Israeli side, the censorship is often even more direct. Israel’s military censor, which reportedly banned publication of 1,635 articles and partially censored another 6,265 in 2024, will be back at it — likely emboldened by U.S. backsliding under Trump. Journalists who disobey the censor — which also prohibits them from reporting they’ve been silenced — risk arrest.
Stories that aren’t killed by the censor are deterred with the threat of being blown to bits. Israel has systematically targeted news outlets and individual journalists in Gaza, as well as Iran. There’s no reason to assume Iran will be any different — an Iranian state media complex has reportedly already been bombed. Add to that the “accidental” killings of journalists resulting from unwillingness to take basic measures to protect civilians.
And then there’s Iran itself, which, to paraphrase Hegseth, didn’t start this war but is sure going to censor it. The remnants of the regime are likely to lash out to violently stifle all sorts of dissent, including journalism that doesn’t parrot their narratives.
Stories that aren’t killed by the censor are deterred with the threat of being blown to bits.
Iran — which ranked 176th out of 180 on Reporters Without Borders’ global Press Freedom Index last year — is intolerant of adversarial journalism during peacetime and will surely escalate censorship now, as we saw during the Israel-Iran war last year.
Since the start of the current war, Iran has already blacked out phone and internet access, as it did during its horrifically violent suppression of January’s uprisings. It will almost certainly continue to do so, thereby severely limiting the information that comes out of the war’s primary battleground, and leaving journalists and news consumers to gauge the credibility of competing government narratives.
None of this is unprecedented in isolation — the George W. Bush administration used highly restricted embed access in Iraq as a propaganda tool, subpoenaed reporters, and floated prosecuting them under the Espionage Act. The Obama administration pursued more Espionage Act cases against whistleblowers than all prior administrations combined. The Biden administration extracted a plea deal from Julian Assange over WikiLeaks’ exposure of Iraq war crimes. But all of that is going to be on steroids now, in terms of both scale and brazenness.
Journalists will find a way to report the news and investigate government abuses and lies, despite it all. Lawyers and activists will do what they can to help. But it’s unrealistic to expect reporters to overcome this multipronged attack entirely.
What they can and should do, even if it feels awkward, is let the public in on the obstacles they are dealing with and how the lack of reliable information during modern conflicts harms us all, allowing politicians to lie their way into wars that enrich their friends while killing schoolchildren.
If reporters are going to quote Pentagon spokespeople or news releases, the public deserves to know who the reporter was not allowed to interview and what documents they were not permitted to review. It’s vital context without which the reporting is arguably misleading. And reporters from the U.S. — which is somehow still the least censored of the three main parties to this war — may be the only ones who can provide it.
It might not fix the secrecy surrounding this war, but it could lead to greater demand for transparency and greater skepticism of official narratives in the run-up to the next “forever war.” Maybe it could even help avoid the next one altogether.

Essere connessi e sentirsi soli
Non è un paradosso, è la differenza tra connessione e esposizione.
Sei costantemente in contatto, ma raramente sei presente, perchè scambi informazioni, non parti di te.
Metti like, rispondi con emoji, commenti.
Ma quante volte dici davvero quello che senti?
La verità è che la maggior parte delle interazioni moderne è sicura, superficiale e controllata. Non rischi quasi nulla.
E senza rischio non c’è connessione reale.
La connessione vera nasce quando ti mostri imperfetto e dici una cosa scomoda. Quando ammetti che non sei a posto.
Ma quello spaventa, è molto più facile essere “visibili” che essere vulnerabili.
Puoi raccontare cosa fai, cosa pensi, cosa mangi, dove vai, ma non dire cosa ti ferisce, cosa temi, cosa desideri davvero.
E poi ti chiedi perché non ti senti compreso.
La connessione non è quantità di scambi, è profondità di esposizione.
E finché continui a mostrare una versione filtrata di te, sarai circondato, ma non visto.
Non sei solo perché nessuno ti scrive, sei solo quando nessuno conosce la parte vera di te.
E quella parte non si connette automaticamente, va mostrata; non a tutti, certo. Ma a qualcuno sì.
La tecnologia non è il problema. Quello è quanto poco sei disposto a rischiare emotivamente.
Vuoi sentirti connesso davvero?
Smetti di cercare più interazioni e cerca più verità.
Perché la connessione non nasce dal numero di notifiche, ma dal momento in cui qualcuno ti guarda e riconosce qualcosa di autentico.
E per arrivarci, devi prima smettere di nasconderti dietro lo schermo.

Linux Fu: The USB WiFi Dongle Exercise
If you’ve used Linux for a long time, you know that we are spoiled these days. Getting a new piece of hardware back in the day was often a horrible affair, requiring custom kernels and lots of work. Today, it should be easier. The default drivers on most distros cover a lot of ground, kernel modules make adding drivers easier, and dkms can automate the building of modules for specific kernels, even if it isn’t perfect.
So ordering a cheap WiFi dongle to improve your old laptop’s network connection should be easy, right? Obviously, the answer is no or this would be a very short post.
Plug and Pray
The USB dongle in question is a newish TP-Link Archer TX50U. It is probably perfectly serviceable for a Windows computer, and I got a “deal” on it. Plugging it in caused it to show up in the list of USB devices, but no driver attached to it, nor were any lights on the device blinking. Bad sign. Pro tip: lsusb -t will show you what drivers are attached to which devices. If you see a device with no driver, you know you have a problem. Use -tv if you want a little more detail.
The lsusb output shows the devices as a Realtek, so that tells you a little about the chipset inside. Unfortunately, it doesn’t tell you exactly which chip is in use.
Internet to the Rescue?
My first attempt to install a Realtek driver from GitHub failed because it was for what turned out to be the wrong chipset. But I did find info that the adapter had an RTL8832CU chip inside. Armed with that nugget, I found [morrownr] had several versions, and I picked up the latest one.
Problem solved? Turns out, no. I should have read the documentation, but, of course, I didn’t. So after going through the build, I still had a dead dongle with no driver or blinking lights.
Then I decided to read the file in the repository that tells you what USB IDs the driver supports. According to that file, the code matches several Realtek IDs, an MSI device, one from Sihai Lianzong, and three from TP-Link. All of the TP-Link devices use the 35B2 vendor ID, and the last two of those use device IDs of 0101 and 0102.
Suspiciously, my dongle uses 0103 but with a vendor ID of 37AD. Still, it seemed like it would be worth a shot. I did a recursive grep for 0x0102 and found a table that sets the USB IDs in os_dep/linux/usb_intf.c.
Of course, since I had already installed the driver, I had to change the dkms source, not the download from GitHub. That was, on my system, in /usr/src/rtl8852cu-v1.19.22-103/os_dep_linux/usb_intf.c. I copied the 0x0102 line and changed both IDs so there was now a 0x0103 line, too:
{USB_DEVICE_AND_INTERFACE_INFO(0x37ad, 0x0103, 0xff, 0xff, 0xff), .driver_info = RTL8852C},
/* TP-Link Archer TX50U */
Now it was a simple matter of asking dkms to rebuild and reinstall the driver. Blinking lights were a good sign and, in fact, it worked and worked well.
DKMS
If you haven’t used DKMS much, it is a reasonable system that can rebuild drivers for specific Linux kernels. It basically copies each driver and version to a directory (usually /usr/src) and then has ways to build them against your kernel’s symbols and produce loadable modules.
The system also maintains a build/install state database in /var/lib. A module is “added” to DKMS, then “built” for one or more kernels, and finally “installed” into the corresponding location for use by that kernel. When a new kernel appears, DKMS detects the event — usually via package manager hooks or distribution-specific kernel install triggers — and automatically rebuilds registered modules against the new kernel headers. The system tracks which module versions are associated with which kernels, allowing parallel kernel installations without conflicts. This separation of source registration from per-kernel builds is what allows DKMS to scale cleanly across multiple kernel versions.
If you didn’t use DKMS, you’d have to manually rebuild kernel modules every time you did a kernel update. That would be very inconvenient for things that are important, like video drivers for example.
Of course, not everything is rosy. The NVidia drivers, for example, often depend on something that is prone to change in future Linux kernels. So one day, you get a kernel update, reboot, and you have no screen. DKMS is the first place to check. You’ll probably find it has some errors when building the graphics drivers.
Your choices are to look for a new driver, see if you can patch the old driver, or roll back to a previous working kernel. Sometimes the changes are almost trivial like when an API changes names. Sometimes they are massive changes and you really do want to wait for the next release. So while DKMS helps, it doesn’t solve all problems all the time.
Extras and Thoughts
I skipped over the part of turning off secure boot because I was too lazy to add a signing key to my BIOS. I’ll probably go back and do that later. Probably.
You have to wonder why this is so hard. There is already a way to pass the module options. It seems like you might as well let a user jam a USB ID in. Sure, that wouldn’t have helped for the enumeration case, but it would have been perfectly fine to me if I had just had to put a modprobe or insmod with a parameter to make the card work. Even though I’m set up for rebuilding kernel modules and kernels, many people aren’t, and it seems silly to force them to recompile for a minor change like this.
Of course, another fun answer would be to have vendors actually support their devices for Linux. Wouldn’t that be nice?
You could write your own drivers if you have sufficient documentation or the desire to reverse-engineer the Windows drivers. But it can take a long time. User-space drivers are a little less scary, and some people like using Rust.
What’s your Linux hardware driver nightmare story? We know you have one. Let us hear about it in the comments.

Polymarket Pulls Bet on Nuclear Detonation in 2026
For a few hours on Tuesday, Polymarket hosted a bet about the possibility of nuclear war in 2026. The market asked the question “Nuclear weapon detonation by …?” and racked up close to a million dollars in trading volume before Polymarket took the unusual step to remove the market from its website. It did not simply close down the bet, but it’s been “archived” meaning that a record of it no longer exists. It’s strange as many older and paid out bets remain on the site.Pulling a bet like this is unusual and the company did not respond to 404 Media’s request for an explanation as to why. Word of the nuke bet drew wide attention online from critics already upset about Polymarket for its place in the depravity economy.
playlist.megaphone.fm?p=TBIEA2…
“I have not seen anything like this before,” Jon Wolfsthal, a former special assistant to President Barack Obama and a member of the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, told 404 Media. “As a citizen, it seems dangerous to enable people in power to place bets anonymously on things that might happen, creating an incentive to act on a basis of personal gain and not the national interest.”Polymarket doesn’t often balk at bets on violence and war. There are multiple markets covering the wars in Ukraine and Iran and also many other bets about nuclear detonations. “Will a US ally get a nuke before 2027?” and “Russia nuclear test by …?” are both still actively trading. An older version of the “nuclear weapons detonation” is still on the site and did almost $3 million in trading before closing and paying out at the end of the 2025. It’s hosted a bet on the same question every year for the past few years.
The gambling market has been under fire this week after gaining a lot of attention for its various bets on the war in Iran. Gamblers spent more than $5 million betting on the question “Will the Iranian regime fall by June 30?” People have been caught manipulating war maps to cash in on frontline advances in Ukraine. And someone made $400,000 using inside knowledge to place bets about the capture of Maduro.
“How ghoulish. Especially given how much insider trading apparently goes on with current events bets,” Alex Wellerstein, a nuclear historian and creator of the NUKEMAP, told 404 Media.
Wellerstein said that betting on nuclear war isn’t unprecedented, but that it’s usually tongue-in-cheek and conducted by insiders. “The thing that immediately comes to mind is Fermi's ‘side bet’ that the Trinity test would destroy the atmosphere in 1945—which was a joke, as nobody would be able to collect if it had happened,” he said.
“A flip of this is in Daniel Ellsberg's The Doomsday Machine, in which he eschewed paying into a pension in the early 1960s because he thought the odds of a future nuclear war were so high that it was better to spend the money sooner rather than later. So another kind of bet, but a private one,” Wellerstein added. “And whenever experts give ‘odds’ on nuclear use (which the intelligence community does, apparently), they are to some degree indulging in this kind of impulse. But not for the hope of personal profit—usually it is because they want to avoid such an outcome.”
Polymarket CEO Shayne Coplan has repeatedly called the site “the future of news,” and has suggested that prediction markets give the public a more clear picture of events because money is on the line. The reality is that the financial incentives pervert reality. Nuclear war, it seems, was a bit too dramatic for Polymarket to host a wager on. But Polymarket has few moral qualms, has not told anyone why it "archived" the bet, and it’s possible it did so for some arcane technical reason and not because it got squeamish. Polymarket did not respond to 404 Media’s request for comment.

Dopo il successo dell’Iniziativa dei cittadini europei My Voice My Choice, che ha raccolto oltre 1,2 milioni di firme e che in Italia è stata promossa da Associazione Coscioni, lo scorso 26 febbraio la Commissione europea ha dato una risposta positiva, riconoscendo che i fondi europei possono essere utilizzati dagli Stati membri per sostenere l’accesso all’aborto sicuro. Durante l’incontro si parlerà di come è nata e si è sviluppata questa mobilitazione europea e quali nuove possibilità si aprono ora per garantire concretamente il diritto all’aborto anche nei paesi dove l’accesso è più difficile. All’incontro interverrà anche Donatella Albini, ginecologa del Centro di documentazione e informazione sulla salute di genere di Brescia, mentre la serata sarà moderata da Susi Rovai, consigliera comunale di Vimercate. Sono inoltre previsti interventi di consiglieri comunali della provincia di Monza e Brianza.

AI translated articles swapped sources or added unsourced sentences with no explanation, while others added paragraphs sourced from completely unrelated material.#News #Wikipedia #AI
AI Translations Are Adding ‘Hallucinations’ to Wikipedia Articles
Wikipedia editors have implemented new policies and restricted a number of contributors who were paid to use AI to translate existing Wikipedia articles into other languages after they discovered these AI translations added AI “hallucinations,” or errors, to the resulting article.The new restrictions show how Wikipedia editors continue to fight the flood of generative AI across the internet from diminishing the reliability of the world’s largest repository of knowledge. The incident also reveals how even well-intentioned efforts to expand Wikipedia are prone to errors when they rely on generative AI, and how they’re remedied by Wikipedia’s open governance model.
The issue in this case starts with an organization called the Open Knowledge Association (OKA), a non-profit organization dedicated to improving Wikipedia and other open platforms.
“We do so by providing monthly stipends to full-time contributors and translators,” OKA’s site says. “We leverage AI (Large Language Models) to automate most of the work.”
The problem is that editors started to notice that some of these translations introduced errors to articles. For example, a draft translation for a Wikipedia article about the French royal La Bourdonnaye family cites a book and specific page number when discussing the origin of the family. A Wikipedia editor, Ilyas Lebleu, who goes by Chaotic Enby on Wikipedia, checked that source and found that the specific page of that book “doesn't talk about the La Bourdonnaye family at all.”
“To measure the rate of error, I actually decided to do a spot-check, during the discussion, of the first few translations that were listed, and already spotted a few errors there, so it isn't just a matter of cherry-picked cases,” Lebleu told me. “Some of the articles had swapped sources or added unsourced sentences with no explanation, while 1879 French Senate election added paragraphs sourced from material completely unrelated to what was written!”
As Wikipedia editors looked at more OKA-translated articles, they found more issues.
“Many of the results are very problematic, with a large number of [...] editors who clearly have very poor English, don't read through their work (or are incapable of seeing problems) and don't add links and so on,” a Wikipedia page discussing the OKA translation said. The same Wikipedia page also notes that in some cases the copy/paste nature of OKA translators’ work breaks the formatting on some articles.
Wikipedia editors investigated how OKA was operating and found that it was mostly relying on cheap labor from contractors in the Global South, and that these contractors were instructed to copy/paste articles to popular LLMs to produce translations.
For example, a public spreadsheet used by OKA translators to keep track of what articles they’re translating instructs them to “pick an article, copy the lead section into Gemini or chatGPT, then review if some of the suggestions are an improvement to readability. Make edits to the Wiki articles only if the suggestions are an improvement and don't change the meaning of the lead. Do not change the content unless you have checked that what Gemini says is correct!”
Lebleu told me, and other editors have noted in their public on-site discussion of the issue, that these same instructions previously told OKA translators to use Grok, Elon Musk’s LLM, for the same purpose. Grok, which also produces an entirely automated alternative to Wikipedia called Grokepedia, is prone to errors precisely because it does not use humans to vet its output.
“The use of Grok proved controversial, notably given the reasons for which Grok has been in the news recently, and a recent in-house study showed ChatGPT and Claude perform more accurately, leading them to switch a few days ago, although they still recommend Grok as ‘valuable for experienced editors handling complex, template-heavy articles,’” Lebleu told me.
Ultimately the editors decided to implement restrictions against OKA translators who make multiple errors, but not block OKA translation as a rule.
“OKA translators who have received, within six months, four (correctly applied) warnings about content that fails verification will be blocked without further warning if another example is found,” the Wikipedia editors wrote. “Content added by an OKA translator who is subsequently blocked for failing verification may be presumptively deleted [...] unless an editor in good standing is willing to take responsibility for it.”
A job posting for a “Wikipedia Translator” from OKA offers $397 a month for working up to 40 hours per week. The job listing says translators are expected to publish “5-20 articles per week (depending on size).”
“They leverage machine translation to accelerate the process. We have published over 1500 articles and the number grows every day,” the job posting says.
“Given this precarious status, I am worried that more uncertainty in the translator duties may lead to an overloading of responsibilities, which is worrying as independent contractors do not necessarily have the same protections as paid employees,” Lebleu wrote in the public Wikipedia discussion about OKA.
Jonathan Zimmermann, the founder and president of OKA, and who goes by 7804j
on Wikipedia, told me that translators are paid hourly, not per article, and that there is no fixed article quota.
“We emphasize quality over speed,” Zimmerman told me in an email. “In fact, some of the problematic cases involved unusually high output relative to time spent — which in retrospect was a warning sign. Those cases were driven by individual enthusiasm and speed rather than institutional pressure.”
Zimmerman told me that “errors absolutely do occur,” but that OKA’s process includes human review, requires translators to check their content against cited sources, and that “senior editors periodically review samples, especially from newer translators.”
“Following the recent discussion, we have strengthened our safeguards,” Zimmerman told me. “We are now rolling out a second, independent LLM review step. Translators must run the completed draft through a separate model using a dedicated comparison prompt designed to identify potential discrepancies, omissions, or inaccuracies relative to the source text. Initial findings suggest this is highly effective at detecting potential issues.”
Zimmerman added that if this method proves insufficient, OKA is considering introducing formal peer review mechanisms
Using AI to check the output of AI for errors is a method that is historically prone to errors. For example, we recently reported on an AI-powered private school that used AI to check AI-generated questions for students. Internal testing found it had at least a 10 percent failure rate.
“I agree that using AI to check AI can absolutely fail — and in some contexts it can fail at very high rates. We’re not assuming the secondary model is reliable in isolation,” Zimmerman said. “The key point is that we’re not replacing human verification with automated verification. The second model is a complement to manual review, not a substitute for it.”
“When a coordinated project uses AI tools and operates at scale, it’s going to attract attention. I understand why editors would examine that closely. Ultimately, the outcome of the discussion formalized expectations that are largely aligned with our existing internal policies,” Zimmerman added. “However, these restrictions apply specifically to OKA translators. I would prefer that standards apply equally to everyone, but I also recognize that organized, funded efforts are often held to a higher bar.”

Dopo un anno di attesa, Silvano, affetto da sclerosi multipla, è morto con il suicidio assistito: è il dodicesimo in Italia e il primo in Liguria
“Mi auguro che la mia lotta possa servire anche ad altri nella mia stessa condizione”. L’appello di Silvano alla Regione Liguria e Parlamento
Aveva fatto richiesta un anno fa. Dopo diffide e messe in mora, la ASL ha fornito il farmaco e la strumentazione. L’assistenza medica, in assenza di disponibilità all’interno dell’ASL, è stata a cura del suo medico di fiducia, il dottor Mario Riccio
Silvano, 56enne genovese, affetto da sclerosi multipla progressiva da quasi trent’anni, è morto lo scorso 26 febbraio, a seguito dell’autosomministrazione di un farmaco per il fine vita fornito dal Servizio sanitario nazionale, insieme alla strumentazione necessaria.
Dopo aver atteso un anno dalla sua richiesta, Silvano è la 12esima persona in Italia ad aver completato la procedura prevista dalla Consulta con la sentenza 242/2019 sul caso “Cappato/Antoniani”, con l’assistenza diretta del Servizio sanitario nazionale, la nona seguita dall’Associazione Luca Coscioni. In assenza di medici dell’ASL disponibili a vigilare sulla procedura, Silvano è stato assistito dal dottor Mario Riccio, medico anestesista, consigliere generale dell’Associazione Luca Coscioni, che nel 2006 aveva assistito Piergiorgio Welby e poi alcuni pazienti che fino a oggi hanno avuto accesso al suicidio medicalmente assistito.
A causa della malattia Silvano era divenuto tetraplegico, con gravi difficoltà nella comunicazione e nella deglutizione. Aveva bisogno di assistenza continuativa per ogni attività quotidiana: mangiare, bere, assumere farmaci, muoversi. Aveva un catetere vescicale permanente ed era sottoposto a manovre meccaniche per l’evacuazione. Le sue condizioni cliniche e le sofferenze erano diventate per lui intollerabili.
Il 24 febbraio 2025 aveva presentato alla ASL la richiesta di verifica delle condizioni per accedere al suicidio medicalmente assistito. Nel giugno 2025 l’azienda sanitaria aveva comunicato il parere positivo sulla sussistenza dei requisiti, senza tuttavia indicare le modalità esecutive della procedura. Si è reso così necessario l’intervento dei legali di Silvano, coordinati dall’avvocata Filomena Gallo, Segretaria nazionale dell’Associazione Luca Coscioni, e composto dall’avvocato Angelo Calandrini e dalle avvocate Francesca Re ed Alessia Cicatelli. Solo a seguito di formale diffida e messa in mora, e ulteriori diffide nei mesi successivi, la ASL ha trasmesso, lo scorso ottobre, la relazione finale contenente anche le modalità operative e Silvano, dopo un anno dalla richiesta, ha scelto di procedere.
Queste le parole di Silvano:
La mia libertà di scelta è quella di dire basta alle sofferenze, è amore per me, per chi sono e sono stato. Mi auguro vivamente che la mia lotta possa servire ad altri nella mia stessa condizione per non dovere attuare la volontà di autodeterminarsi in altri Paesi, lontano da tutto e da tutti. Chiedo, in primis, alla Regione Liguria di garantire tempi certi di risposta e verifica delle condizioni e al Parlamento italiano che legiferi per rispettare la libertà di scelta dei malati che oggi non possono accedere al fine vita con un percorso chiaro e rispettoso delle nostre scelte. Il silenzio non deve più essere fonte di sofferenza per le persone che vivono la mia stessa situazione.
Filomena Gallo, avvocata e Segretaria nazionale dell’Associazione Luca Coscioni commenta: “Il caso di Silvano conferma che il diritto riconosciuto dalla Corte costituzionale nel 2019 è pienamente vigente, ma continua a essere ostacolato da inerzie amministrative e dall’assenza di procedure uniformi. La sentenza 242/2019 è un vincolo giuridico per lo Stato e per il Servizio sanitario nazionale: quando ricorrono le condizioni previste, la risposta deve essere tempestiva e completa. È inaccettabile che per attuare un diritto costituzionalmente garantito si debba ricorrere a diffide. Il giudicato costituzionale attribuisce responsabilità precise alle istituzioni, affinché l’autodeterminazione terapeutica sia garantita in modo uniforme su tutto il territorio nazionale”.
Le fa eco Marco Cappato, tesoriere dell’Associazione Luca Coscioni: “Silvano è il primo caso in Liguria, ma è soprattutto la dimostrazione che il diritto al suicidio medicalmente assistito, così come riconosciuto dalla Corte costituzionale, è già vigente e deve essere garantito senza ostacoli. Oggi il problema non è solo il ritardo del Parlamento, ma il tentativo di intervenire per restringere la portata di un giudicato costituzionale, sottraendo diritti che sono già stati riconosciuti. Questo sarebbe un grave arretramento sul piano dello Stato di diritto. La politica non può trasformare una sentenza della Corte in un diritto svuotato o condizionato oltre quanto stabilito dai giudici costituzionali. Se verranno approvate norme che limitano diritti già in vigore, continueremo ad accompagnare le persone nelle sedi giudiziarie e, se necessario, con azioni di disobbedienza civile. La libertà di scelta non è negoziabile né comprimibile per ragioni ideologiche”.

Un decreto contro l’odio che colpisce il dissenso.
(211)
Dopo il voto di oggi al Senato, il decreto legge «antisemitismo» entra nella sua seconda fase: il testo passa ora alla Camera, dove la maggioranza punta a confermarne l’impianto senza modifiche sostanziali, blindando in via definitiva la nuova cornice giuridica su antisemitismo e critica a Israele.
All’inizio di questo post voglio essere chiaro su un punto essenziale: criticare lo Stato di Israele per la sua condotta a #Gaza e in #Cisgiordania non significa, in alcun modo, essere antisemiti. L’antisemitismo è un odio antico e pericoloso che va combattuto con la massima determinazione, ma proprio per questo non può essere usato come scusa per zittire chi denuncia bombardamenti su civili, occupazione militare, annessione di territori e violazioni sistematiche del diritto internazionale.
Il decreto «antisemitismo» non è più solo una minaccia: oggi il Senato lo ha approvato, confermando in aula l’impianto liberticida già emerso nei lavori della “Commissione Affari costituzionali” e facendo un passo decisivo verso la trasformazione della critica a Israele in sospetto di odio razziale. Il testo adotta la definizione di antisemitismo dell’IHRA, già al centro di durissime critiche perché, in concreto, tende a far passare come “antisemita” ogni critica radicale al sionismo e alle politiche del governo israeliano, compresa la denuncia di apartheid, annessione della Cisgiordania e pulizia etnica a Gaza.
Nonostante gli appelli di giuristi, associazioni per i diritti umani e pezzi importanti della società civile, la maggioranza ha tirato dritto, respingendo gli emendamenti delle opposizioni che provavano almeno a limitare i danni di una norma che confonde deliberatamente dissenso politico e razzismo.
Rispetto alla versione iniziale, alcune delle disposizioni più sfacciatamente repressive sono state limate per evitare una bocciatura immediata davanti alla Corte costituzionale, in particolare quelle che prevedevano in modo esplicito il divieto di manifestazioni pubbliche anti ebree e l’inasprimento delle sanzioni contro personale scolastico e universitario critico verso Israele.
Ma il cuore del problema è rimasto intatto: l’adozione piena della definizione #IHRA e l’inquadramento dell’antisemitismo in una logica securitaria che consente di trattare le manifestazioni contro la politica israeliana come minaccia per l’ordine pubblico e la sicurezza nazionale.
“Amnesty International”, tra gli altri, ha avvertito che così si soffocano il dibattito pubblico, l’accademia, la libertà di associazione e di protesta, perché chi denuncia crimini di guerra, apartheid e genocidio rischia di essere equiparato per legge a chi diffonde odio antiebraico.
Considero l’antisemitismo uno dei veleni più persistenti della storia europea, da combattere con decisione nella scuola, nella cultura, nei media, nella vita quotidiana. Proprio per questo trovo gravissimo che la memoria della “Shoah” e la sacrosanta lotta all’antisemitismo vengano piegate a diventare scudo di uno Stato che oggi bombarda, assedia, occupa, annette, e che pretende immunità morale e politica in nome delle proprie vittime passate.
Difendere gli ebrei dall’odio non significa blindare il governo #Netanyahu dalle sue responsabilità, né trasformare in reato di opinione chi usa parole dure (come genocidio, apartheid, pulizia etnica) per descrivere ciò che accade sul terreno in #Palestina.
In uno Stato che voglia dirsi democratico, criticare Israele per la sua condotta deve essere non solo possibile, ma necessario, esattamente come si critica qualsiasi altro governo quando calpesta il diritto internazionale e i diritti umani.
Con il voto di oggi, il governo Meloni mostra ancora una volta il suo vero volto: non quello del presunto baluardo di libertà, ma quello di un potere che piega le leggi alla ragion di Stato filo-israeliana, subordina i diritti costituzionali alla fedeltà a un alleato e considera il dissenso un problema di ordine pubblico da neutralizzare.
Il testo ora proseguirà il suo iter alla Camera, dove la stessa maggioranza che l’ha imposto al Senato punta a blindarlo in tempi rapidi, respingendo le richieste di cambiamento di chi chiede almeno di separare chiaramente antisemitismo e critica legittima a Israele.
Ma qualunque sarà la forma finale, una cosa è già chiara: oggi Palazzo Madama ha votato non solo un disegno di legge, ha votato un messaggio politico preciso (in Italia si può dire “mai più” solo se non disturba gli equilibri geopolitici) e la libertà di parola finisce dove comincia l’interesse del governo a non irritare Tel Aviv e Washington.

Pirate Party Condemns Unlawful U.S. Seizure of Tankers
March 4 – It weighs on our hearts that our government has decided to take action against the crews shipping oil. Just as we are against civil asset forfeiture, this too is an action that just steals from those sailors who are simply trying to make a living. With zero due process in international waters, Trump has directed our military to steal from those who do not align with his political stance.
This is not a dissent against our military brothers and sisters, who carried out the raids. They did so without harming the ships or the people, preforming at a level of excellence we have come to expect from them. Instead, this is a top down action that put both our military personnel and the merchant marine in harms way. They were not transporting illegal goods. They were transporting oil.
Those in the administration claim this is to stop tyranny while they are acting tyrannical. They claim this is for justice while holding no due process nor giving those arrested the right to representation. They claim the crews are breaking international law and are part of a shadow fleet, so does that mean the US is the end-all be-all of policing international trade?
We must not let this distract us from the real issues. We must push back again those who think they are above the law. No one is above the law and we all deserve justice with due process.
